that is associated with this transmission project will be brought before the RC as soon as ISO-NE can complete the study for the generation portion of the project -A stakeholder commented that there were concerns about the timing of the SSTI study and the potential interaction between the HVDC converter and nearby generators The Vistra representative stated that the project motion language is incomplete because it does not address the forthcoming detailed SSTI study Becacause that study has yet to be conducted, Vistra is currently unsure if there could be any adverse impacts As such, Vistra will be opposing the project ISO-NE responded that the early SSTI screen was performed as part of the SIS and full resolution of any issues uncovered will be mitigated during the interconnection agreement process ISO-NE has also included a reference to this effect in the the ISO Recommendation Letter on how the potential interconnection issues will be addressed going forward The motion following was moved and seconded by the Reliability Committee: Resolved, the Reliability Committee recommends that ISO New England Inc determine that implementation of the Mayflower Wind

31, 2023 In response to a stakeholder question, Eversource stated that the project transformer rating is 300 MVA This project will be voted on at a future Reliability Committee meeting Agenda Item 5.7 – Vineyard Wind Generation Project Introduction (QP 792) Mr Jack Arruda (Vineyard Wind) provided an introductory overview of the Vineyard Wind Generation Project for the construction of 92 9.5 MW MHI-Vestas offshore wind turbines (limited to 9.375 MWs each for 862.5 MW total output) south of Martha’s Vineyard, MA The project will interconnect to the 345 kV Montville onshore substation The onshore transmission work will consist of 220/345 kV substation with 220/345 kV switchgear, two 400 MVA 345/220 kV on-load tap changing transformers, two -150/+150 MVAR STATCOMS to be connected to each 345 kV bus, two variable shunt reactors for each circuit and two harmonic filters and associated 50 MVAR fixed shunt reactors The offshore transmission work will have two 220/66 kV 450 MVA on-load changing transformers, 220 kV and 66 kV switchgear, two 200 MVAR fixed shunt reactors connected to each 220 kV cable and two 93 mile 220 kV submarine and a mile terrestrial cables The proposed in service date of the project is May 31, 2023 In response to stakeholder questions, the Vineyard Wind representative provided the following statements: - This project has a separate QP and is unrelated to the other Vineyard Wind projects with different queue positions - The project elected to use AC cables versus installing two HVDC cables The reason was due to economics and the AC cable distance will be addressed with midpoint reactors - The maximum MW injection at the point of interconnection will be 806 MWs - This project is not part of the Cape Cod Cluster due to the project location and point of interconnection - A representative from Dominion Energy commented that the project could impact the Millstone nuclear units Millstone requires two independent outside power sources The representative for Millstone noted for the wider RC that any project with interaction with this resource will require extensive and time consuming permitting from the NRC and that all project sponsors should take that process into account as they move forward and work with them as early as possible - A stakeholder asked whether it would be more efficient or productive for the ISO to consider using synchronous condensers instead of STATCOMs during the interconnection process in projects like these The project sponsor noted that the needs were met with STATCOMs From a project perspective, there was no need for a synchronous condenser ISO-NE confirmed that the needs were met in accordance with the interconnection standards, and that the review that was described by the stakeholder, to consider the need for future inertia when making these decisions in the interconnection space, would require Tariff changes It was noted that this is why this issue is being raised because it brings awareness to a problem that the region could be missing low cost opportunities to add inertia to the system by swapping STATCOMs for synchronous condensers A vote on this project will be taken at a future Reliability Committee meeting Agenda Item 6.0 - Transmission Cost Allocations (TCAs) Agenda Item 6.1 – UI Pequonnock Substation Rebuild Project TCA - UI-21-TCA-01 Mr Edward
